A massive dead shark washed up onto a Long Island beach this week, just days after New York state ordered enhanced patrols at Long Island State Park beaches in response to the uptick of sightings of the massive predators.
At approximately 9.33am on Wednesday, a resident of the area witnessed the shark, between seven and eight feet long, beached on the shoreline at Ocean Beaches along Dune Road in the Village of Quogue, located about 80 miles east of New York City.
